I like it. You can just slap a couple of player names on a trophy to make it sound relevant, but this has obviously had some thought put into it's design. Possibly give greater meaning to the teams playing for it, certainly more than the gaudy hunks of metal usually paraded around or the monstrosities designed for sponsorship reasons.
